George Eliot's realist masterpiece, with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jennifer Egan

Young Maggie Tulliver is devoted to her brother Tom, but as she grows older and discovers romantic love she comes into conflict with him and her family. She strives to reconcile moral claims and family loyalty with her own desires. Eliot's most autobiographical novel was also her most controversial, and this new edition examines its impact.

From the author of MIDDLEMARCH and SILAS MARNER, a story of frustrated intelligence and longing, featuring the intelligent Maggie, who yearns to be loved, and her brother Tom, who is forced to study. When Maggie is cast out by Tom, she is ostracized by society, and must face the consequences of renunciation.

Middlemarch is a complex tale of idealism, disillusion, profligacy, loyalty and frustrated love. This penetrating analysis of the life of an English provincial town during the time of social unrest prior to the Reform Bill of 1832 is told through the lives of Dorothea Brooke and Dr Tertius Lydgate and includes a host of other paradigm characters who illuminate the condition of English life in the mid-nineteenth century. Henry James described Middlemarch as a 'treasure-house of detail' while Virginia Woolf famously endorsed George Eliot's masterpiece as 'one of the few English novels written for grown-up people'

"Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand" An innocent young man is betrayed by a close friend and wrongly accused of stealing Church money. Exiled from his religious community, with his life shattered, his trust in God lost and his heart broken, an embittered weaver, Silas Marner leaves his village and moves to the rural town of Raveloe. There, he throws himself into his craft and lives only to adore the gold coins he earns and hoards from his weaving. On a cold snowy night, an orphaned child, barely able to walk finds her way into his house, Silas is given the chance to transform his life. He comes to love Eppie, adopts her as his own daughter, and discovers the joys of family and friendship, despite the trials and tribulations that ensue. It is a powerful and profound tale about love and loyalty, punishment and reward, fate and fortitude. Elliot's writing style is notable for its strong realism and for covering a great many social issues. It perfectly captures the early years of the nineteenth century and still communicates its message today. The unique characters and gripping plots keep readers hooked as its combination of humor, rich symbolism and pointed social criticism create an unsentimental but affectionate portrait of rural life. Cherished for generations, Silas Marner is George Eliot's favorite of her novels.>

L'église de Shepperton offrait, il y a environ vingt ans, un aspect bien différent de celui qu'elle présente aujourd'hui. À la vérité, sa tour massive vous surveille encore; le cadran de l'horloge conserve l'expression amicale des anciens jours; mais, pour tout le reste, que de changements ! Un ample toit d'ardoise couronne le vieux clocher; les fenêtres sont hautes et symétriques; les portes extérieures sont en beau chêne poli, et celles de l'intérieur sont capitonnées d'une serge rouge pour amortir le bruit; jamais aucun lichen ne reviendra se fixer sur les murs; ils sont aussi lisses et aussi stériles que le sommet de la tête du Rév.
